One of the heroes of Flight 93, now immortalized in "United 93," the stunning new film about the tragedy, long believed he would die young and had told his wife that his death would be in some way connected to the White House.
Some analysts believe the terrorists had hijacked United 93 to strike the White House. In a startling interview with Michael H. Brown, publisher of Spirit Daily, Deena Burnett, widow of the Flight 93 passenger Thomas Burnett, recalled that both she and her husband had premonitions about Tom's early death.

Sorry about this but ... hindsight is always 20/20 and additional attention is always welcomed when remembering loved ones. This is someone embellishing the hero.

Actually the sense of premonition was so strong (not only on his part - but his wife's as well) that he attempted to double their life insurance policy. He was able to double his wife's, but not his own due to a recent diagnosis of sleep apnea.
I would say that's a pretty strong premonition.
I think it's too soon to be profiting off of this tragedy.
I believe there could be something to this story. I think some people have had premonitions. It's happened to me but it's been about something insignificant. Although I did have a dream once and a week later similar events with the same people in the dream happened.
I mean Spielberg waited 50 years before profiting from the Holocaust, and here we are not even 5 years after 9/11 with a multi-million dollar grossing movie exploitation.

HUH?
My first IBTZ?
So we are to wait 50 years before something is "exploited"?
9/11 was not a tragedy, although it was tragic.
It was an attack, an act of WAR. This story must be told. Saw it with my son the second night.
I agree totally; this is gilding the lily and this story, no matter how sad, continues to grow, and grow and grow. After a major air crash, there are always thousands of people who claim that a "premonition" caused them to take another flight or they somehow "got stuck in traffic on the way to the airport". I remember when the Air Florida plane crashed into the Potomac River bridge, sadly killing most of the passengers and some motorists. The number of people who claimed to have "just gotten over the bridge" a few feet away was both enormous and unbelievable.
Whose son are you talking about? It says the widow of the passenger.
What do you mean "it was their son"?
Deena = widow = former wife of Thomas
both Deena and Thomas supposedly had premonitions about Thomas' death
Or maybe he lived in a white house...and didn't wear his BIPAP at night. Hypoxia can give one crazy dreams.....
I certainly think it's entirely possible.
Who, precisely, is being "exploited"?
Did you want to get in on this "too soon" debate?
